Today was my first Smutfest organised by the Solent kayak boys. Not far for me to travel so arrived early and on the water by 8. It was cold and lumpy. My morning wasn't great as I couldn't get a bite while all round me folks where hooking up.

Steve with a nice one

Come lunchtime and the barbecue on the beach was most welcome as I'd not eaten at all. Lots of laughs and good to meet some old and new chums.

A certain guru of mine showed me a much better way to present my hardback crabs which resulted in a better afternoon. Two strong runs that I struck to soon( not wanting a swallowed hook) and then a cracking scrap from this Starry that tipped my scales at 14.12. A new pb by 10 oz

Only the one for me but a quality one so I'm a happy Lofty

Well done to the Solent Massif for getting this meet right.

Cracking fish Steve!

 

If it hadn't been for the Round the Island race I would have been up to the Solent for the smuts myself this weekend!

 

They certainly tug your string!
